[Histonet] PSLIM Update

From:

Victor Tobias

We got our new PSLIM setup in a test environment. First thing we
discovered was that all slides are not created equal. We had a box of
slides labeled 1" by 3" and also 25mm by 75mm. These slides would not
work in the unit. Got another brand labeled 25mm by 75mm and they were
just a fraction shorter and worked great. The speed is decent, but not
as fast as paper labels. I think your workflow would be to scan the
cassette first to start the printing process and then face in the block.
Since it usually goes back onto ice to cool, speed shouldn't be an
issue. The one feature I like is that it prints the slides in order. #1
comes off first and then it slides #2 under #1 and #3 under #2. The
slide is very legible and we have the accession no, block no, cut date,
stain name, 2 lines for the facility and a barcode. We have no
affiliation with Accuplace.
